Cordelia.....

I havent heard it in a long time, and I am pregnant with #2 (hoping its a girl!). Middle name ideas? I like old fashioned, place names, and unusual names.

Would be joining brother Israel Jameson.

How do you pronounce Milou?

Mee-lou is cute.


Pearl is also cute.


Lucille is cute...

But all these are striking out with husband. He like Cordelia Alaina. I dont like both names ending with A sounds.

Yes, it's Mee-lou indeed! It's a French name, but quite common here (in Netherlands). I've always been quite fond of it. Too bad your husband doesn't like it/them! Good luck with that ;).

I'm not sure why this came to mind but my first thought was: Cordelia Rain... though I realize this might not be to your liking.

Cordelia Maria
Cordelia Sophia
Cordelia Jane
Cordelia Ciel (I like the idea of CC as a nickname too)
Cordelia Jade
Cordelia Grace
Cordelia Louise
Cordelia Quinn
Cordelia Wren
Cordelia Audrey
Cordelia Vivien

Love Cordelia Louise!! and Cordelia Quinn...

I LOVE Cordelia and had it on my latest list. My husband was not as enamored with it. I also like Delia as a nickname. If you ever watched Everwood, the little sister on it was named Cordelia, who went by Delia.

Its from Anne Of Green Gables (for me). Her name was Anne but she told everyone to call her Cordelia :D My mother wanted to name me Lia (or some version of spelling), so Im sure she will enjoy. Ty!

[a-tergo-lupi.livejournal.com]

I love it.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I don't care for it. Though I'm not sure if it's because it's so ingrained as one specific person (Cordelia from Buffy) to me, or if because I legitimately don't like the name. I don't think it's my style.

[ex-thegreyl.livejournal.com]

Cordelia screams Buffy to me too.

[jexia]

This. And I have a Xander :P

[rosemere-rat.livejournal.com]

What is Buffy?

[laminy.livejournal.com]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: movie from 1992, TV show that ran from 1997-2003. Graphic novel that follows the show. Probably another movie coming out sometime in the next few years.

threre was an LJ mom some time ago who had two daughters named cordelia and emmeline. I like it, it's a bit fancy for me, if that makes any sense.

[rosemere-rat.livejournal.com]

Its a bit fancy for me as well. Im plain jane pretty much 100% of the time, I figured my daughter wouldnt be exactly like me though so I am goin out on a limb.

[lilacmermaid.livejournal.com]

I think Cordelia is GORGEOUS. I especially love Delia as a nickname.

[ohhvelocitygirl.livejournal.com]

I much prefer cornelia. cornelia ingrid or cornelia isolde/isild are my top names for hypothetical babies I won't have

[rosemere-rat.livejournal.com]

I like Cornelia too! But do not enjoy the "corn" part of it.

Also reminds me of Cornelius a little more than I want it to.

[esilva7.livejournal.com]

love the nickname Celia for Cordelia.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Oooh, I love love love Cordelia!! My Top Ten list includes Cordelia Diana. That's old-fashioned, maybe you'll like it. Other possibilities include Cordelia Margaret, Cordelia Theodora, Cordelia May, Cordelia Juniper, Cordelia Rosemary.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Cordelia Diana is so Anne of Green Gables!

I only know the name Cordelia from there, and I remember as a child reading those books and wondering why she liked the name because it just reminded me of the word "cordial" (ie the drink haha)

But I now think it is that nice kind of obsolete name that people could easily get used to hearing again.

[fleckerbug.livejournal.com]

I like it, but Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel... it's not uncommon.


My biggest reason for liking it is that it reminds me of my old neighbor, a vary close family friend. I guess I had trouble calling her Mrs. Cordiano because 2 y/o me dubbed her Cordy. :)

[rosemere-rat.livejournal.com]

I still dont know what that is , oh well :P Im guessing its a TV show?

[julia-michelle.livejournal.com]

I adore Cordelia. It's been in my top 5-10 for years now. I'd use Delia as a NN.
